But the 2.0TFSI doesn't have this issue so i dont see the point in them on that engine. Guys have been running stage 3 and 4 setups with no issues on std coilpacks so i cant see why they would be needed at stage 1, 2 or 2+.
Anyone know how they are for longevity? Id be pretty p!ssed if i bought a set and one wore really fast, its a pretty expensive consumable. Can you buy single replacements?

Well it's an unknown quantity on the 2.0tfsi engines so would be good to test and see whether you can run a richer mix and still make good power. I think the coils have more than power figures as advantages, I will test these out to confirm what advantages they do have. If you can run a wider variety of settings then in my opinion that's a massive plus.
In terms of longevity part of the benefit of these coils is they have very good heat handling properties. As said earlier on in this thread, some coils are being sold 2nd hand with 8 years of use on them! So they should prove to be better for life but then like any mechanical part you can't 100% say for certain how long they will last, but going by some previous examples it looks like they last a decent amount of time!

Are you going to be a UK dealer for these?

If they prove to have benefits and gains then yes. That's why I'm looking to test them thoroughly and see the results, and if the benefits are there how can they be achieved. There may be some fine tweaking to a map to make them work properly which is what I would like to find out.
Janner_Sy:
So its in your best interests to make these sound good then?
I wouldnt mind hurdy putting his std coilpacks back in then doing back to back tests.

Well in all honesty since I'm not an official dealer yet it doesn't matter either way how the tests go. I would like them to prove to be beneficial as I'm putting in my own money for dyno runs, paying for the coils and also all the fuel costs, but at the same time I will be showing the results so won't be just my word for it. That is also the reason why I am planning on testing them on Mikes Cupra as then another test can be done and more results can be taken from it from a un-biased source. They aren't my creation, I'm just looking into tuning possibilities and would love to find out what these give.
Hopefully in a couple weeks I can have all the data to show and see what these are all about. I believe they are beneficial from my own experience running them so far but the dyno will be the true test :) I will also see what it does to the MPG on a few longer runs next week :happy2:
